Abstract: [Problem] To enable a sound bar and a wireless speaker to be grouped and ungrouped through a simple operation. [Solution] When a user moves a controller 3 closer to a sound bar 1. the sound bar 1 reads tag information from an RFID tag 30 of the controller 3 by using an RFID tag reader 10. detects that the user has performed an operation to move the controller 3 closer to the sound bar 1, and checks a host group state. When group formation is in progress, an ungroup notification is transmitted to a wireless speaker 2, which is a participating member of the group. to ungroup the group. and information relating to a slave of the ungrouped group is stored as immediately preceding slave information. However, when ungrouping is in progress. a group formation notification is transmitted to the wireless speaker 2 identified by the immediately preceding slave information to form a group with the wireless speaker 2.

Abstract: A node of a wireless communication network (150; 160; 170; 210; 220; 230; 240) receives an indication from a user equipment (10). The indication indicates that a limitation of volume charged packet data services is required for the user equipment (10). Depending on the received indication, the node (150; 160; 170; 210; 220; 230; 240) prevents transmission of packet data associated with the volume charged packet data services and allows transmission of packet data associated with one or more other packet data services.

Abstract: An improved method for making cannabigerol (CBG) utilizing the following steps. CBG-containing material is contacted with an aqueous alkaline solution containing a hydroxide base and essentially no organic solvents, thereby extracting cannabinoids including carboxylic acids and salts and producing an alkaline extract. Non-soluble CBG-containing material is removed from the alkaline extract to produce a clarified alkaline extract. The extracted cannabinoids are decarboxylated and the resulting cannabigerol is crystallized/precipitated from the clarified alkaline extract at a pH greater than 7.
